  4. SCS Method • SCS Method • In this method the runoff volume (Q) resulting from a given rainfall storm (P) is calculated using the following formula.

  5. Talbot Method • Talbot Method • Design flood can be related to morphological properties of the catchment. Design flood discharge (Q), in m3 /sec, can be calculated using the following formula

  6. Talbot Method • Talbot Method Runoff coefficients according to catchments characteristics

  7. Estimation of Design Flood • Rational Method • The rational method uses existing rainfall data and land use in estimating peak runoff from small drainage areas that are less than 15 km2.

  8. Estimation of Design Flood • Rational Method Runoff Coefficients for the Rational Method

  9. Estimation of Design Flood • Rational Method • The rainfall intensity (i) in millimeters per hour for duration corresponding to the time of concentration for the catchment area and having a recurrence period appropriate to the site conditions, is read from IDF curves.

  10. Estimation of Design Flood • Rational Method • Time of concentration is defined as the interval time in minutes from the beginning of rainfall to the time when water from the most remote position of the catchment reaches the outlet. • Kirkpich formula

  12. Estimation of Design Flood • SCS Method • In this method the runoff volume (Q) resulting from a given rainfall storm (P) is calculated using the following formula.

  13. Estimation of Design Flood • Talbot Method • Design flood can be related to morphological properties of the catchment. Design flood discharge (Q), in m3 /sec, can be calculated using the following formula
